3. つなぎ、守る：ネットワークとネットワークセキュリティ from Coursera

Google サイバーセキュリティプロフェッショナル認定証の 3 つめのコースです。各コースでは初級サイバーセキュリティの職に必要なスキルを身につけることができます。

このコースでは、ネットワークがどのように複数のデバイスを接続し、通信を可能にするのかを探ります。まず、最新のネットワーク運用とプロトコルの基本を学びます。例えば、TCP/IP モデルについて学び、ルーターやモデムなどのネットワークハードウェアによってコンピュータがインターネット上で情報を送受信できる仕組みについて学びます。そして、ネットワークセキュリティについても学んでいきます。組織は多くの場合、ネットワーク上で貴重な情報を保存・送信するため、ネットワークはサイバー攻撃の一般的なターゲットとなります。このコースを修了すると、ネットワークレベルの脆弱性を認識できるようになり、ファイアウォールやシステムハードニング、仮想プライベートネットワークなどを使って、ネットワークを保護する方法を説明できるようになります。

サイバーセキュリティの分野で働いている現職の Google 社員が最適なツールやリソースを使って一般的なサイバーセキュリティの業務を遂行する実践的な方法を指導します。また就職活動への準備も手助けします。

この認定プログラムを修了すると、エントリーレベルのサイバーセキュリティの職に応募できるようになります。過去の業務経験は不要です。
